Classic pins are one of the good things in life. Sadly, they wear down and eventually become unplayable. 
​The only thing that allows the fun and magic to continue are people willing to do the hard work of fixing them. ​

​Outside Edge would like to recognize and celebrate Hardtop Heroes. These are good people around the world who are using loads of time, talent, and Hardtops to ensure old pins will find new fans. Because of you, these classic games will be played for many years to come. 

​Thank you for your support, and for bringing these pins back to life!
